Yesterday Sony Ericsson Spain said that they were going to push the Android 2.1 update for the X10 Series back to late October, and then Sony Ericsson UK said they would have it out late September.

Android 2.1 better be good SE, or you’re going to lose a large, large number of customers.

There won’t be a… Read more »

I think it’s a good thing SE holds onto the upgrade until they know it’s good.
A year to test softwear is a bit much don’t you think.
too little too late. I’m moving on to HTC. They have their sh*t together
